KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
To register for kindergarten, children must be 5 years old before July 1.
To register your child, you will need to complete the Kindergarten Registration Form, to the left, and return it to your child’s home district school.
All children must register for kindergarten at their home district school. This is the district where you reside. No documents will be collected at this time. At a later date, parents will receive instruction from the school regarding drop off of documents.
Documents needed for kindergarten registration include:
Updated Immunization Record
Health Check Form from your health care provider completed during the last 12 months
Dental Check completed during the last 12 months
Birth Certificate from the state Vital Registration Office
Social Security Card (Requested but not required.)
2 Proofs of Physical Residency
Out of District Information
If you are requesting for your child to attend a school outside of your district, please complete the Kindergarten Application and return to your home school. Complete an Out Of District Form and provide to the principal of the school you are wishing for your child to attend. The administrator will review and submit that to the Assistant Superintendent. The application will be reviewed and either approved or denied based upon school enrollment. You and both schools will receive a decision letter during the month of August. Please be patient as you await the decision. Thank you.
